Show some decency, Thackeray tells Modi

February 14, 2017

Mumbai, Feb 13: Shiv Se chief Uddhav Thackeray on Monday told Prime Minister rendra Modi to show some “sabhyata” (decency), days after the latter attacked former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. “The PM should show some ‘sabhyata’ like Manmohan Singh showed his ‘sabhyata’ when he stopped a Parliamentary panel from attacking (RBI Governor) Urjit Patel on demonetisation,” Thackeray told CNN-News18. Thackeray’s comment came days after Modi, while in the Rajya Sabha, taunted Manmohan Singh by saying “only he knew the art of bathing wearing a raincoat”. The Shiv Se has broken its alliance with the Bharatiya Jata Party (BJP) although it still remains a part of the BJP-led governments both in Maharashtra and in New Delhi. Asked about the status of the BJP-Se alliance in the state, Thackeray told the news channel: “This government is on notice and we will see how it goes from here.” (IANS)
